I can't do anything!!!!:mad: My In-laws are in from Europe for 3 weeks!! And they are sleeping in my office, computer room, railroad. Ughhhh! Well maybe I'll make some trees or something. But I'm pretty much out of commission for the time being.

I hate to say it but I don't like the blue. I mean I really panicked when I thought you guys were gone but, like a fickle fool I'm already complaining about the color. Can we do a poll or sumptin?

Ah much better. I was wondering who to talk to about my trains. Well your back. Ahhhh....:) :thumb:

Just wonder what where kind of truck/wheelsets I need for this car? The plastic ones got a little buggered up from me having to take them apart since I glued them together backwards. So I guees I need to fix my brand "new" coach.

I got my branchline blueprint Erie Passenger car together, but It needs some modifications to roll on a 22" radius. I got another probably 8 square feet covered with ground goop and roads traced in the center of town. I'm building my town around the railroad due to lack of planning but, hey...

I am assembling a branchline heavyweight erie coach using all the optional detail parts also and boy I must say, I really dont like these tiny parts. My glompy mechanic hands find this a little challenging. And this is HO how do n-guys do it?

Well as a newbie I just have one thing to say. That is freaking awsome! Its like each section is like a different "slice of life". Like those direct Tv commercials where the guy changes age and era as he goes from different rooms of the house. Very very interesting project.

I am currently making roads with a spackle base then sprinkling fine medium gray ballast on top pressing it in, then spraying with wet water and putting more ballast on top. I figure to just trim the road when the spackle dries and either paint the edges or use foliage to even out the roadside...

I know in the wiring for model railroads books by kalmbach pub the old fashioned way is to use toggle switches and diodes and making a nice board to mount it on with lines for each route. I'll scan a page and post it to give you a general idea.

the track layout really looks awsome. Im gonna guess this can be a very busy railroad. Looks great!!

ok all fixed.

put more wild field growth on the layout and body mount a kadee coupler on an old tyco car.

Here is the Monroe station or whats left of it. To the left of the stairs is the platform and the building was probably on top of it. Well had some uploading problems the next picture is the bridge with the Erie logo on it. About 500 ft to the left of the station stairs pic I sent. The last...

well took too yesterday while driving to get some store goods

yes im 15-20 miles from middletown. Chester NY and goshen NY rennovated thier stations. And chester I think made thier old railpaths hiking trails so I cannot wait to go exploring. My Town Harriman (lived in and named after "THE MAN" himself) lets thiers go decrepid. But it still stands...

Since I aint got much to give to this forum as far as "yeah use hydrocal its much lighter" or "oh yes the blue foam is sooo much better for your layout". I figured what could I add? SO since I am dying for spring and ideas for places to take my daughter, I'm going to hike (I have a harley so...

Well Im glad I found this place. I've been around other railroad forums, bigger ones more gagets flashing lights bell whistles etc etc, and this one is by far the only one I'd wanna post or share anything on. A bunch of nicer train guys I've ever "not met". Now one of these days with a little...

Putting down some kadee magna thingees so I can do some switch action. Between the dairys depot and the cheese factory. And putting kadees on my old tyco switcher. Other then that just playing, Im sorry running my railroad I meant to say. But last night I played for 2 hours (I meant ran, and...

wow mikey ya noticed the yamato im impressed got a die-cast model of it and a plastic model of it also an built andromeda.

Its HO but the depot is a lifelike prebuilt and lighted kit. The Depot is ho but life like may not be so "life-like". I need trees trees and more trees and roads. Can you notice that the more real objects like the tunnel and left rear rocks are more real then the "green shiny stuff". Thats...
